Showerthought: I swore $89 was too much for a single ergonomic keyboard, then my wrists quit aching in 10 days | Cognitive Dissonance Diaries

For two months I griped that my $30 keyboard was fine and anyone paying $89 for a split one was just falling for fancy marketing. Then I borrowed my coworker Dave's Kinesis Freestyle for a week at our office in Boise and the pins and needles in my right hand just vanished. I bought my own that Friday, felt like a total hypocrite, and ten days later the tingling that had bugged me since March was gone. So was I wrong about it being overpriced, or did I just get lucky that my specific wrist issue happened to match what it fixes?
